Organize a House Meeting
Over the next two months, we're rebuilding a power movement for public health care - one conversation at a time.
We're calling on supporters of public health care across the province to organize small group conversations - also called house meetings - with people in your networks.
A House Meeting is a group of 6-10 people invited to have an intentional conversation in a comfortable setting. These may be virtual meetings, in people’s homes, or set up in table groups/breakout rooms at a larger venue so that many house meetings can occur at the same time. The purposes of a house meeting are to:
- Unearth stories that call for change
- Build relationships of trust and understanding
- Connect with community leaders who have appetite for action
- Identify issues of common concern to inform campaign priorities
